Krugsdorf by the Kiessee: Water, Trails and Village Church

Krugsdorf between the Kiessee and the countryside

Krugsdorf brings together bodies of water, woodland, meadows and trails, all close to one another. The Kiessee brings the water side of the village into especially clear focus: it is an EU-registered bathing site, registered in 1991. The beach or shore section of the bathing site is 200 metres long. Specific operating details may vary by season.

The Kiessee is also a popular diving spot. It is rated as an excellent fishing spot. This means swimming, diving and fishing are different interests that all come together at the same lake. When planning your trip, you can compare these with the options on land: by the water or on the trails—which kind of stay would you like to focus on?

Walks and hiking trails

A short walking loop starts right at Krugsdorf Castle. Its paths lead through the surrounding area and invite you to enjoy a leisurely stroll. Nearby, two signposted hiking trails of 6 and 9 kilometres respectively loop around Krugsdorf, the Krugsdorfer See and the Großer Koblentzer See. They pass through the western part of the Pasewalker Kirchenforst landscape conservation area. The short castle loop and the longer trails clearly differ in distance; trail conditions and markings may change.

Krugsdorf Village Church also offers a distinctive cultural touch: its small organ was built by the Hermann Eule organ-building company in Bautzen. Those interested in local culture as well as the landscape and water will find a specific detail here about the church and the craft of organ building.

Choose accommodation to suit your holiday priorities

If you are looking for places to stay in Krugsdorf, you can start planning around your different interests: should the Kiessee be the main focus of your stay, or would you prefer a quiet walk around the castle or a longer hiking route? This question can help you see how Krugsdorf fits with your own travel plans. If you are travelling together, you can discuss in advance which priorities matter for your stay, rather than making one activity compulsory.

The wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald

Looking at the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald gives you a broader view of the district: its three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of its area. This figure applies to Vorpommern-Greifswald as a whole, not to Krugsdorf alone. Cultural attractions also reflect the district’s diversity. The Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald displays the Croy Tapestry from 1554, a unique cultural and historical artefact from the Reformation era. In Anklam, the Otto Lilienthal Museum is dedicated to the aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer and humanist Otto Lilienthal.

Another destination in the district is Ueckermünde Zoo. More than 1,120 native and exotic animals representing 95 species live there, and feeding demonstrations take place daily. Animal numbers and feeding times may change. These regional attractions complement local interests in Krugsdorf without implying that they are available in the village itself.
